Kale and Kiwi Green Smoothie Bowl

Ingredients

For the Smoothie Base:

• 1 cup kale leaves (stems removed, loosely packed)

• 2 ripe kiwis (peeled and chopped)

• 1 ripe banana (frozen for creaminess)

• ½ cup frozen mango or pineapple chunks

• ½ cup almond milk (or other plant-based milk)

• 1–2 tsp maple syrup or agave (optional, to taste)

• 1 tbsp chia seeds or ground flaxseed (optional for fiber)

Toppings (customizable):

• Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

• Sliced banana

• Kiwi slices

• Gluten-free granola

• Coconut flakes

• Chia seeds or hemp hearts

• A drizzle of almond butter or sunflower seed butter

Instructions

1. Blend the Base:

   • Add the kale, kiwi, banana, mango/pineapple, almond milk, and optional sweetener/seeds into a blender.

   • Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Add more plant milk if needed for easier blending, but keep it thick for a smoothie bowl texture.

2. Assemble:

   • Pour the smoothie into a bowl.

   • Arrange your toppings artistically on top.

3. Serve Immediately:

   • Enjoy with a spoon while cold!

Tips

• Make it thicker: Use more frozen fruit and less liquid.

• Add protein: Blend in a scoop of dairy-free protein powder or top with nuts/seeds.

• Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
